Bella

This girl.. She emitted such a pure sense of innocence yet I could feel – almost taste the darkness that clung to her. There was something about her that intrigued the hell out of me. I'd been with both sexes but I'd never felt that my attraction was based on appearance. I choose my partners carefully, my attention always having to do with personality. That being said I considered myself to be pansexual, but she shattered that. Her body did things to me. Things that none of my past lovers managed to do, without even touching me.

And quite frankly that scared me.

I wasn't aware that a single person could have that much power over me so I ignored it. I figured it was just blind lust that would pass with time.

It didn't.

If anything it only got stronger. Every time I saw her or heard her name, even if there was a crude comment attached to it, it made my heart race and my breath come in short, uneven gasps.

I knew trying to talk to her wouldn't work seeing as she ignored everyone besides her brother, his girlfriend and a had full of his friends. If she wasn't alone then she was with them.

Her brother! God, I am such an idiot! Why didn't I think of him sooner?

Oh yeah.. Maybe because of the fact that he was the single most intimidating person I'd ever seen, aside from his girlfriend. Together they were simply terrifying.

But I had to get to know her, even if that meant getting my head bitten off by the blonde bombshell that was Rosalie.

So now how do I get closer to them?

It wasn't hard, especially after I'd attracted the attention of one Edward Cullen. It hadn't even been a week before he invited me to sit with him, at the same table as her. That first day I was so nervous sitting just two measly feet away from my obsession in all her glory.

Probably because this is the closest you've ever been to her. My mind helpfully supplied. It was true though, all I'd ever done was admire from afar. Very, very far. I had no clue what to do or say around her, even if I wasn't speaking directly to her. Hell, I had nothing to worry about; she didn't even glance at me. Not once!

I was a little saddened by that. Okay maybe more than a little, more like a lot. I wanted so badly to get to know her, just speak to her once would be enough. If I could satisfy this curiosity I had for her I could be on with my life. Be done and move on.

Right?

Eventually Edward made his move, and didn't except rejection very well. By this time I was a regular at the "Brandon" table and for some odd reason they took my side when Edward threw his fit, even Alice had something to say. That was the first time I really heard her voice.

It was stupid, me obsessing over her for months without even hearing her voice.

And what a voice it was! Rich and silky, yet deep and lilting and light and airy all at the same time. I would have swooned if I wasn't feeling so awkward about everyone bitching out Edward on my account. That was also the day I heard that same amazing voice directed at me. She came up to me later and asked why I would ever even consider being with someone like Edward. When I gave her a confused look she explained that even though Edward was friends with her brother they all knew how he acted.

"Rosalie has been itching to get into his ass about it since day one but Emmett always calmed her down because he was only interested in the slutty type.. Well until you that is." I nodded dumbly, still struck by the fact that she was actually talking to me.

"Plus Emmett thinks highly of his little 'Bella-Bear.'" She smirked at this. I raised an eyebrow.

"Bella-Bear?" She bit her bottom lip very cutely before speaking.

Oh fuck, that lip...

"Emmett takes it upon himself to give those he socializes with nicknames. Mine is Ali-Cat, Edwards is Edtard, and Rosalie's is Rosie-Baby." I smiled softly. Emmett was such a goofball.

"So what's Emmett's nickname?" I wondered aloud, hoping for something embarrassing. Only to get back at him for calling be Bella-Bear of course.

"Well I've been calling him Emmy-Bear for as long as I can remember." I felt my eyebrows scrunch together without really wanting them too. Dammit now you're going to look weird to her! Stop!

"Then why does he call me Bella-Bear is it's already been used?"

"Well for one he doesn't like it, only me and Rose get away with calling him that. He says it doesn't fit with his 'many appearance'." I snort and Alice smiles.

"A bit full of himself isn't he?" She nods.

"Always has been, especially since..." She trailed off.

"Since what?" I prod gently. I saw it before she said anything. The way her face closed off to me and I knew our little talk was over. I just hoped that she wouldn't stop talking to be all together when she'd barely even started.

"Uh... I-I gotta go. Sorry." And just like that she was gone. I ached to be away from her. I was this close to her, for only about five minutes, only hearing her sweet, sweet voice speak only a few sentences and I was already hooked.

Damn this girl...

One-shot for now.. I may continue if enough people what more.

I decided to post this since I hadn't updated my other two stories. But it was Spring Break here so what can I say?

And just so you know if this is continued the chapters will be very short, but I'll update as frequently as I can.
